Peace like a river


It's a beautiful morning in the Methow Valley. It sure feels good being far away from the big city. I sat on the balcony early this morning with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds wake up along the river.

Last night we had delicious Mexican food in Amanda and Tom's backyard. There's a good restaurant in Twisp called La Fonda Lopez, open for take-out.  We're practicing social distance as much as possible.  It's the right thing to do.

You know what? That 6 feet feels like nothing after being separated for many long months. Just seeing their faces, talking, and being a family again is like heaven. (We'll make up for the hugs and kisses later.)

The chickens provided the evening entertainment. Like teenagers, they seem to be working out their pecking order. It was so comical they had us laughing. They are all named, of course, and quite the pampered pets, well cared for by Nova.

I'm looking forward to more outdoor activities today. A hike perhaps, and time spent up at the property. I can't wait to see the big garden.  It's going to be a beautiful summer day in the mid-80's.  This is the warmest we've felt all summer, in more ways than one.

Naughty "Hey Hey" gets a time out.
